First
Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights:
Revenue in the first quarter was $162.1 million compared to $117.3 million in the first quarter of 2022. The 38% year-over-year increase was driven by an increase in royalty revenue primarily attributable to subcutaneous DARZALEX® (daratumumab) and the addition of product sales as a result of the Antares Pharma acquisition. Revenue for the quarter included $99.6 million in royalties, an increase of 43% compared to $69.6 million in the prior year period.
Cost of sales in the first quarter was $35.2 million, compared to $15.9 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase was driven by an increase in product sales as a result of the Antares Pharma acquisition and amortization of inventory step-up associated with purchase accounting for the Antares Pharma acquisition.
Amortization of intangibles expense in the first quarter was $17.8 million, due to the Antares Pharma acquisition, in which Halozyme acquired intangible assets that are amortized over a useful life related to the auto injector technology platform, XYOSTED® and TLANDO®.
Research and development expense in the first quarter was $18.0 million, compared to $11.9 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase is primarily due to an increase in compensation expense related to the ongoing combined larger workforce as a result of the Antares Pharma acquisition, which added device platform resources in regulatory, quality and manufacturing, as well as planned investments in ENHANZE®.
Selling, general and administrative expense in the first quarter was $37.4 million, compared to $13.8 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation expense related to the ongoing combined larger workforce, including the addition of commercial resources in sales and marketing for the testosterone replacement therapy products.
Operating income in the first quarter was $53.8 million, compared to operating income of $75.7 million in the first quarter of 2022. Net Income in the first quarter was $39.6 million, compared with net income of $60.1 million in the first quarter of 2022. EBITDA in the first quarter was $74.3 million, compared with EBITDA of $76.4 million in the first quarter of 2022. The year-over-year comparisons reflect a $25 million milestone payment in the first quarter of 2022 which did not repeat in the first quarter of 2023, as well as year over year increases in operating expenses.
Earnings per Share: On a GAAP basis in the first quarter of 2023, diluted earnings per share was $0.29, compared with $0.43 in the first quarter of 2022. On a non-GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share was $0.47, compared with diluted earnings per share of $0.47 in the first quarter of 2022.1
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $275.6 million on March 31, 2023, compared to $362.8 million on December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the repurchase of common stock for $150 million in the first quarter of 2023.
Financial Outlook for 2023
The Company is reiterating its financial guidance for 2023, which was initially provided on January 10, 2023. For the full year 2023, the Company expects:
Total revenue of $815 million to $845 million, representing growth of 23% to 28% over 2022 total revenue primarily driven by continued strength in Wave 2 products, including DARZALEX® SC (daratumumab) and Phesgo® (pertuzumab, trastuzumab and hyaluronidase) utilizing ENHANZE®, as well as full year auto-injector royalty and product contribution. The Company expects revenue from royalties of $445 million to $455 million, representing growth of 23% to 26%.
EBITDA of $415 million to $440 million, representing growth of >30% over 2022. EBITDA excludes the impact of amortization costs related to the Antares Pharma acquisition.1
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $2.50 to $2.65, representing growth of >10% over 20221. The Company's earnings per share guidance does not consider the impact of potential future share repurchases.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables contain certain Non-GAAP financial measures. The Company reports earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and, amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, and guidance with respect to those measures, in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company calculates Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization of debt discount, debt extinguishment expense, intangible asset amortization, changes in contingent liabilities, transaction costs for business combinations and certain adjustments to income tax expense. The Company calculates EBITDA excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA excluding transaction costs for business combinations. Reconciliations between GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures are included at the end of this press release. The Company does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking adjusted measures to GAAP due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including adjustments that could be made for changes in contingent liabilities, share-based compensation expense and the effects of any discrete income tax items. The Company evaluates other items of income and expense on an individual basis for potential inclusion in the calculation of Non-GAAP financial measures and considers both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the item, including (i) its size and nature, (ii) whether or not it relates to the Company's ongoing business operations and (iii) whether or not the Company expects it to occur as part of Halozyme's normal business on a regular basis. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. These Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, from time to time in the future there may be other items that the Company may exclude for purposes of its Non-GAAP financial measures; and the Company may in the future cease to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its Non-GAAP financial measures. Halozyme considers these Non-GAAP financial measures to be important because they provide useful measures of the operating performance of the Company, exclusive of factors that do not directly affect what the Company considers to be its core operating performance, as well as unusual events. The Non-GAAP measures also allow investors and analysts to make additional comparisons of the operating activities of the Company's core business over time and with respect to other companies, as well as assessing trends and future expectations. The Company uses Non-GAAP financial information in assessing what it believes is a meaningful and comparable set of financial performance measures to evaluate operating trends, as well as in establishing portions of our performance-based incentive compensation programs.
Safe Harbor Statement
In addition to historical information, the statements set forth in this press release include forward-looking statements including, without limitation, statements concerning the Company's expected future growth, financial performance (including the Company's financial outlook for 2023) and expectations for future growth, achieving operational goals, profitability, revenues (including royalty, milestone and product sales revenue), EBITDA and non-GAAP diluted earnings-per-share and potential share repurchase under its share repurchase program. Forward-looking statements regarding the Company's ENHANZE® drug delivery technology may include the possible benefits and attributes of ENHANZE®, its potential application to aid in the dispersion and absorption of other injected therapeutic drugs and facilitating more rapid delivery and administration of higher volumes of injectable medications through subcutaneous delivery. Forward-looking statements regarding the Company's business may include potential growth and receipt of royalty and milestone payments driven by our partners' development and commercialization efforts, potential new clinical trial study starts, regulatory submissions and product launches, the size and growth prospects of our partners' drug franchises, potential new or expanded collaborations and collaborative targets and regulatory review and potential approvals of new partnered or proprietary products. These forward-looking statements are typically, but not always, identified through use of the words "believe," "enable," "may," "will," "could," "intends," "estimate," "anticipate," "plan," "predict," "probable," "potential," "possible," "should," "continue," and other words of similar meaning and involve risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from the expectations contained in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including unexpected levels of revenues, expenditures and costs, unexpected delays in the execution of the Company's share repurchase program, unexpected results or delays in the growth of the Company's business, or in the development, regulatory review or commercialization of the Company's partnered or proprietary products, regulatory approval requirements, unexpected adverse events or patient outcomes and competitive conditions. These and other factors that may result in differences are discussed in greater detail in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
